The National Weather Service of Lubbock confirmed Sunday that a tornado that dropped near Plainview Saturday afternoon was rated an EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

The tornado lasted approximately five minutes with winds that reached 110-132 miles per hour and caused damage to tractor trailers, a cell tower and an outbuilding at the intersection of Fence Road and Business Interstate 27.

Angela Banda said she and her family took cover when they heard some high winds and emerged when the storm had blown over to find damage to their shed, a damaged semi-trailer and a driver who was shaken up.

The truck driver told the family he'd watched a funnel touch the ground, Banda said after the storms had quieted down on Saturday night. It all happened around 6:15 p.m., she added.

Just after 7:20 p.m. Saturday, a semi-trailer was spotted lying on its side in front of her uncle's home with another trailer carrying a mobile home just beside it.

By about 8:30 p.m., those at the scene were picking debris off the road and assessing damage. Banda said there was some damage to the mobile home.

Thankfully, she said, no one was injured.

A few miles away, another tractor trailer was observed to be flipped on its side.

Banda said the situation outside her family's home was found because first responders were on their way out to the flipped semi down the road.

Attempts to reach local law enforcement agencies regarding both situations were unsuccessful by press time.

Severe weather plagued the south plains for much of the weekend with showers on Friday and Saturday dumping 3.5 inches of rainfall across Plainview.

Outside of Plainview, area towns dealt with their own severe weather.

Another possible tornado reported earlier in the evening caused a pivot to overturn in Cotton Center.

The update from the NWS released Sunday afternoon says further inspection may be needed after non-paved roads become more accessible.

A spokesman for the NWS Lubbock said a storm that produced a large tornado that started in Dora, New Mexico on Sunday kept producing tornadic activity for about one-hour-and-a-half as it moved across the state line passing by Muleshoe and eventually close to Tulia.

"It kept lifting and going back down," he said.

Tornadoes with that long of a duration are rare, he mentioned, and he couldn't recall how long ago the Lubbock office had seen one like that.

The forecast for Tuesday looks to be clear with chances of storms developing throughout the rest of the week. According to the NWS website, there's a 20 percent change of thunderstorms Wednesday and another change Thursday night and into Friday.

Temperatures are expected to hit 80 degrees Tuesday before dropping into the 70s Wednesday and climbing back into the low 80s by Friday. Temperatures lows are expected to stick around the 60s.
